Jaime Davies - OOC - Profile
Jaime Davies was born to a well to do couple in an upscale New England neighborhood. For the first part of her life, life was good. She was an only child, and she was doted on and just a little spoiled. Shortly after her twelfth birthday, Jaime discovered she had a unique ability to find things. At first, her parents thought it was just a knack she had for finding keys and lost rings.
Then the headaches started, and a routine bloodtest showed she was carrying the mutant gene. Her 'knack' for finding lost keys and rings was actually a mutation. Though she showed no outward signs of a mutation - no oddly colored skin or hair or distnctive marks - her parents didn't want anything to do with her. They saw her as a freak, and as their failure.
When Charles Xavier showed up, offering Jaime a place in his school, they were more than happy to let her go - and she was more than happy to leave. At the Xavier Institute, Jaime continued her education, and learned about the politics surrounding mutant life. She did write to her parents a few times, but when they didn't write back, she gave them up as a lost cause.
For several months after starting school, Jaime harbored intense feelings of confusement and abandonment, but in time she realized that her parents were just victims of media hype. She wasn't sure she could - or would - forgive them for what they'd done, but she did learn to live with it.
